The importance of social dimension and maturation stage for the probabilistic maturation reaction norm in Poecilia reticulata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10)Maturation is an important event in an organism's life history, with important implications on dynamics of both wild and captive populations. The probabilistic maturation reaction norm (PMRN) has emerged as an important ... -
The Importance of Structural Changes and Imaging in Chronic Pancreatitis
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-11-30)Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is diagnosed using combinations of symptoms, patient history, pancreatic function tests, and imaging. Imaging is also important in follow-up, for instance, if complications are ... -
Importance of systematic deliberation and stakeholder presence: A national study of clinical ethics committees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Case consultation performed by clinical ethics committees (CECs) is a complex activity which should be evaluated. Several evaluation studies have reported stakeholder satisfaction in single institutions. The ... -
The importance of the football coach on Norwegian adolescents' competence: A cross sectional study of the association between coach created climate and adolescent motivation.
(Master thesis, 2012-05-11)Introduction: Organised physical activity has been suggested as specifically conducive for adolescents’ physical and psychological health. This thesis employed a health promotion approach to investigate the associations ... -
The importance of vegetation functional composition in mediating climate change impacts on ecosystem carbon dynamics in alpine grasslands
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-11-08)Climate is changing around the world, and because temperature and water are key drivers of many ecosystem processes this is expected to have significant effects on ecosystem processes and functioning, including ecosystem ... -
The importance of wind forcing in fjord wave modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-03)Accurate predictions of surface ocean waves in coastal areas are important for a number of marine activities. In complex coastlines with islands and fjords, the quality of wind forcing significantly affects the results. ... -
La importancia del aspecto verbal en la enseñanza del pretérito indefinido y del imperfecto del español en la escuela secundaria noruega
(Master thesis, 2012-05-14)The present study involves the realization of an experiment that demonstrates the importance of verbal aspect in the teaching of the verbal tenses preterite and imperfect for second level students of Spanish in their first ... -
Important Differences and Potential Synergies between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, and the Isolation of Natural Products from Bretschneidera Sinensis
(Master thesis, 2010-05-19)Summary Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been an important medical system in China for thousands of years. Lately, certain techniques like acupuncture and herbal medicines are also becoming increasingly popular in ... -
Important periods of weight development in childhood: a population-based longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-13)Background: Identifying important ages for the development of overweight is essential for optimizing preventive efforts. The purpose of the study was to explore early growth characteristics in children who become overweight ... -
The important role of sponges in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a deep-sea biological hotspot
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Deep-sea sponge grounds are hotspots of biodiversity, harbouring thriving ecosystems in the otherwise barren deep sea. It remains unknown how these sponge grounds survive in this food-limited environment. Here, we unravel ... -
Improbable but true: the invasive inbreeding ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus morigerus has generalist genotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01)The wide distribution and dominance of invasive inbreeding species in many forest ecosystems seems paradoxical in face of their limited genetic variation. Successful establishment of invasive species in new areas is ... -
Improve auditing and privacy of electronic health records by using blockchain technology
(Master thesis, 2019-06-29)An ever-increasing amount of sensitive patient data is shared between healthcare institutions. The data is strictly personal and the consequences of unintentional disclosure are severe. Recordkeeping systems embedded in ... -
Improved bounds on W−W′ mixing with ATLAS resonant WZ production data at the LHC at √s=13 TeV
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)New charged vector bosons W ′ decaying into gauge boson pairs W Z are predicted in many scenarios of new physics, including models with an extended gauge sector (EGM). Due to the large variety of models (other unification ... -
Improved Combinatorial Bounds and Enumerators for the Connected Vertex Cover and Independent Feedback Vertex Set Problems
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)In this thesis we shall study both the maximum number of minimal connected vertex covers and the maximum number of minimal independent feedback vertex sets in graphs. A subset S of the vertices of a graph G is a vertex ... -
Improved constraints on the mixing and mass of Z ′ bosons from resonant diboson searches at the LHC at √ s = 13 TeV and predictions for Run II
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)New neutral vector bosons Z ′ decaying to charged gauge boson pairs W + W − are predicted in many scenarios of new physics, including models with an extended gauge sector such as E 6 , left-right symmetric Z ′ LRS and the ... -
